Brian Wayne Wells reviews "Washington: History of the State"

Mary W. Avery does not hide her pride in her home state in this neat little history of the State of Wahington. "Washington: A History of the Evergreen State" suffers only from being too short. It is only 329 pages long. The book is arranged in a topical manner, especially near the end, with chapters on political life, social life and industrial development, rather than weaving these topics into a strictly chronological whole. This means that the reader jumps forward and backwards in time as he/she reads the book. While this may detract from the chronological flow of history which this reviewer tends to prefer, the book is, nonetheless, a sparkling little insight into an area of history never before broached by this reviewer.
